I am fully aware the Title is from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly but it just seems to describe the immense struggle for power in the Civil War, and the western theme as a whole, that I had to use it. I am also aware that the Movie and the Civil War is what has solely inspired this Role-Play.

RPG Name: The Ecstasy of Gold
RPG Description: Walk into the 1800s, a violent time where outlaws roamed the frontier, battle Indians and Confederates, even pick fights with the Union and other outlaws. Set in the Bloody and Violent Civil War, this RP bases it's plot around those individuals and vigilantes who while the ever-growing struggle for power between the North and South raged on; searched for any remnants of gold they could find, in chances to become rich and powerful figures. The RP is very non-linear, but no matter what, it ties into getting the last few stashes of Gold, enough to make anyone rich.
RPG Era: Civil War era
RPG Plot: It's half way through the war, and already many lives have been lost. Soldiers are dieing left and right, leaving the Western Frontier a bloody wasteland. Until now, now, the West has become an Easter Egg Hunt, with spread stashes everywhere with as much as 500,000 a piece. Drifters, Confederates, and Union alike seek for these small stashes in hope for Gold. It is no easy task to find the stashes, only few people know of the where-abouts of the stashes, and they are declining as the war rages on, if anyone were to find a stash, they have better do it fast.
RPG Leader(s): Me, anyone else willing to take up the job of co-owner.
Currently Involved: 2/5

Damn fine title, I'll give you that. I have to wonder whether or not I'd be too interested in playing this one. Nothing personal, but a) I don't think I have the time and b) I don't think this is really my thing. Also, we don't want to spread activity too thin, and I feel it's getting that way already. Anyway, see how this one does. I'll keep an eye on it. :p
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

It sounds interesting, but I'm not going to participate. Sorry. I just don't have the time.
I'm creeping, not gone.

Since this isn't doing hot as it is, I'm going to take a few more posts.

If at least 2-3 people are not achieved for this RP by tommorrow or earlier, then Nowe, if you would be so kind as to put this RP on hold so I may use it for a better time.

Well I think it's a cool idea :) And I second that it's a damn fine title.
Of course I don't look busy; I did it right the first time.
Ever stop to think and forget to start again?

I think that it's a good idea, but I doubt that, between my RL stuff that's going on and other RPs, that I'd be able to participate. Sorry.

If 2 more people are not reached by tommorrow, I will be forced to post-pone this RP for a better day (Might be as long a wait as 2010).

If anyone would like to join, speak up now or forever remain silent.

PLEASE.

Please put in the Failed RPs list, someone's already gotten the era on the ground better than I did.
